It has been a long time coming since a physical release from the Oddworld Inhabitants. The last time they poked their heads out was in 2014 with the release of “Oddworld New ‘N’ Tasty”. This is a remake of their 1997 classic: ‘Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee’. It was not long ago “Oddworld Strangers Wrath HD” was released by Limited Run Games, which at the time left only one game to be released in physical format.

What game is that, you ask? Well, no other than ‘Oddworld Munch’s Oddysee’. This is the first 3D Game in the Oddworld series and was originally made for the original Xbox back in 2001. The good news is that this classic has been received a HD facelift, which originally dropped on the PS Vita and Play Station 3 back in 2012. The only problem was that it was released digitally!

The long wait is finally over and ‘Oddworld Munch’s Oddysee’ will be released on February 23rd in physical form through Limited Run Games! Check it out for yourself! Here is the Oddworld Inhabitant’s Facebook post confirming the date of release.
